Likewise, I saw this on CN...but I saw it on May 21. And in many respects, I wish I didn't. The plotline was too straightforward, and all the characters were too flat.The anime graphics and the CGI graphics clashed terribly. I also say that Suicune didn't get enough spotlight in the movie...and it was running SLOW...just slow. It does provide evidence for one thing, though: Under the correct circumstances, the Beasts will allow humans to ride them. That scene was done well, unlike everything else in the movie.

Basically the movie was a learning experience about Suicune, and nothing more. It confirmed everything I had hypothesized about Suicune, except for two things: one, its actual top running speed; and two, its ability to heal other life forms (by around 6,000 HP. :P)

This movie moves at a much slower pace than the other Pokemon movies and doesn't have much action in it. However, it has a lot of sad moments which makes this movie memorable.

I loved Suicune's every appearance in this movie. I wished the focus of this movie was on Suicune and not Celebi. It would've been a much better movie and possibly one of my favourites, if that was the case.

It was sad when Celebi died at the end of the movie but I was happy it came back to life.

What I didn't like about this movie was:
-Too much Team Rocket
-Not many new Pokemon featured
-It moves too slowly

I give it 6 out of 10.

Yes, there wasn´t a lot of action in this film, but I think, it is good. Not everyone loves films full with action and rapid plot. I must say, it is my favourite pokémon film (the pity is that I have seen only 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th film). I like this film for its pokémon - Suicune and Celebi, and yes, it is melting and sad in some scenes. Really good pokémon film in my opinion. The especial impress gives to this film a forest and the life in it.

For one, they didn't even show the Pikachu short. They just went straight to the part where Brock's telling the story. (If that's the first thing they showed, then AFTER that, they went straight to the start of the big movie.)

The other low point is that there was little action from our favorite doofus trio (the more known TR). The movie could have NOT had them, and it'd still work, with a little mixing.

Finally... I understand that it's how you guys say it and all, but... they were saying 'Céh-leh-bee'. In the other movies, it sounded a lot more like how we usually spell it, so I think it'd sound better if they said it as 'Cęh-lęh-bee'. It wasn't a total waste, but, if they took 2-3 years to DUB the stupid thing from English and release it, they could have had an improved dubbing.

On the upside, Sam sounded like Yoh Asakura.

The pikachu short was after the movie. o.0 And sammy didn't sound like Yoh.>.<

Suicune was pretty pointless in the film... Jump down a hill, save people, BubbleBeam an enemy, jump on a twig monster and get its *** whooped... Though I wouldn't mind shelling out for a Suicune to replace my Brita Water Filter...

Another thing that annoyed me... The "evil" Twig Monster falls apart with Jessie plummeting to her death... Meowths reply; "Look, there goes Jessie..." Lets not put the 'Duh' in 'Dum', Meowth...

Yet another movie ruined by time travel. Old oak was in the story so he must have returned home via ash earler. However the old lady said that sammy was missing thus oak cant have existed so Ask never got a pokemon so he couldnt rescue Oak.... ugghhh time travel makes my head hurt.

This episode is one of my top favorites of the movies, just under "Mewtwo Strikes Back" and "The Power of One". This movie is beautifully drawn, has lovely music, has that great twist at the end, and has a great story. The young Professor Oak was great in this movie. It's funny how we see him with the old pokeball and see him drawing like Tracey. It also makes me wonder what the professor thought as time went by in the past and Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket came around. I also like that Team Rocket has a good ending for the movie.
